Sorry for the pretty vague thread title, and I hope this is in the right place (not a technical issue or anything).

I honestly haven't a clue what this blobby thing is with a line through it that comes up on my sim's pie menu when I look at the option for 'nap'. I understand that some traits leave their little icon next to interactions, such as 'jog here' shows a football next to it, relating to the Athletic trait, and so on..

Hopefully this image will help describe what I mean (sorry about the quality, I print-screened it):



Next to the option 'nap' is that odd little symbol, that doesn't match any of her selected traits. The sim in question has the following traits: Computer Whizz, Green Thumb, Athletic, Hydrophobic, Perfectionist.

Does this belong to a hidden trait she may have inherited? If so, I haven't a clue what. Any help or answers would be great, I'm dead curious about what the symbol is supposed to be. Thanks!

I think that the action is crossed out, as in they would not like to do that particular thing.

Because she's athletic, she doesn't like to nap. It's the athletic symbol crossed out. You'll find that things they LIKE doing are marked with their trait symbol, things they DON'T like, have their trait symbol crossed out

If she's athletic, then she wouldn't want to nap. It's the athletic trait symbol with a red circle and a red line through it, meaning that that action is against that trait.

Ahh I see now, thanks guys for your quick replies =]

Translation. DO.NOT.WANT!

I love that there are things in this game that sims don't want to do. But that we can make them do anyway, cause we're evil. :D

BTW, that's a very green room :D

I guess green's her favourite color, which affects only the player's style of decoration, though.

you get that crossed out trait for evil too, if they could apologise to someone.

Yes I get the same sort of thing with one of my sims.





Photoshopped for LOL's..

'Set Bed on Fire'!? WTF??

That's the hidden pyromaniac trait, right? XD awesome. Athletic people don't like setting things on fire? Interesting...

Haha yeah, literally everything belonging to her is green. Just wait till she moves out and gets her own house! =S
Plus, I go OTT with Create-A-Style haha.

I was wondering this too,thanks for posting this,now I know! :D

I had a teen genius sim who had the genius symbol crossed out on the "Do Homework" option. :\ It makes no sense to me whatsoever.

I get that genius/gifted children often find school oppressive and boring and dreadful and all that (been there, gotten low grades because I thought some assignments were too idiotic for me to bother with)... but in the EA frame of mind, it doesn't make sense at all. They don't usually get that complex when they think that sort of thing out.
